The two backup keepers were well-known for their stint with the English national team. Scott Carson was unfortunately known for his blooper against Croatia in 2007. Joe Corrigan was all-time with Manchester City. I do not know much the fourth keeper Ted Taylor. He was capped 8 times between 1922 to 1926. Northwest produced a total 20 goalkeepers at the time of writing, the most in any region.
-- Gary Neville, Garry Stevens and Tommy Wright are overshadowed by two of the best right backs in England's history, namely Jimmy Armfield and Bob Crompton. Gary Neville probably deserved a chance with Crompton's spot. Despite playing so many games for Sir Alex, Neville seldom got mention as one of England's fullbacks. I always thought that he was underrated. -- The four centerbacks are very easy to select. They are among the best ever from England. Emlyn Hughes, Jamie Carragher and Phil Thompson were all-timers with Liverpool. They had ties to a club team in the region.

-- I have two knights on the team, Sir Tom Finney and Sir Geoff Hurst.
-- Wayne Rooney should be considered one of England's greatest. His goal production backed him up. He starred for two clubs from this region, namely Everton and Manchester United.
Starting lineup
-- All four centre-backs can start for this team. I went with Thompson and Hughes at the back. They played together art Liverpool in real life.
-- Scholes and Gerrard might not fit together in this formation. Alan Ball could have started in place of Scholes, but Scholes played well at the end of his career over there andI should try this formation.
-- Wayne Rooney should be considered one of England's greatest. His goal production backed him up. He starred for two clubs from this region, namely Everton and Manchester United.
-- Max Woosnam often described as the 'Greatest British sportsman'. He won an Olympic gold and silver in tennis at the 1920 Summer Olympics, winning the doubles at Wimbledon, compiling a 147 break in Snooker, making a century at Lord's Cricket Ground, captaining the British Davis Cup team, captaining Manchester City F.C. finishing ultimately runners-up for the Football League Championship in 1920–21, and captaining the England national football team.
